Comments (winetasting notes): The Serrera
Malbec is a wine of surprising color and structure, with a
prolonged storage capacity. It comes from our best and most
exclusive terroirs. It is spicy and complex. Intense and elegant
on the nose. Its roundness and excellent maturation of its
tannins is clearly perceptible on the palate.
